Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland’s Marvel characters have never met, but the two MCU actors shared the screen a decade ago in Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea. In the Heart of the Sea tells the true story of the 1820 sinking of the Essex whaling vessel, which partly inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick. Hemsworth leads the cast of In the Heart of the Sea as the ship’s first mate, Owen Chase, while Holland plays the cabin boy, Thomas Nickerson.

Although it was a box office bomb when it first released in theaters in 2015, In the Heart of the Sea has become a streaming success since it premiered on Netflix. It’s a riveting blockbuster spectacle capturing the terror of a shipwreck and the thrill of a whale hunt, and audiences are finally catching up after all this time. The movie also achieves a long-anticipated Marvel team-up that Marvel itself hasn’t been able to pull off for the past nine years.

Spider-Man & Thor Have Never Met In The MCU, But Tom Holland & Chris Hemsworth Already Co-Starred In 2015’s In The Heart Of The Sea

Hemsworth & Holland Shared The Screen Outside The Marvel Universe

Spider-Man and Thor have never had any scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where they directly interact with one another. This is a pretty strange factoid, because they’re both prominent Avengers who have appeared in a few of the same movies. Thor was off-world when Spidey made his MCU debut in Captain America: Civil War, but they were both featured in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, so they could’ve shared the screen at some point in either of those movies.

Spidey was busy fighting Thanos on Titan when Thor brought the newly forged Stormbreaker to Wakanda, so they were separated by lightyears in Infinity War.

Spidey was busy fighting Thanos on Titan when Thor brought the newly forged Stormbreaker to Wakanda, so they were separated by lightyears in Infinity War. But they fought on the same battlefield at the climax of Endgame. However, they were both preoccupied — Spidey reunited with Iron Man and Thor took on the Mad Titan — so it wasn’t the time or place to meet new people. Hemsworth and Holland may not have shared scenes in the MCU, but they spent plenty of screen time together in In the Heart of the Sea, a year before Holland’s Marvel debut in Civil War.

Will Tom Holland & Chris Hemsworth’s Characters Ever Meet In The MCU’s Future?

Spider-Man & Thor Could Finally Meet In Avengers: Doomsday

Spider-Man and Thor might not have met on-screen yet, but there’s still a chance they could. Two phases after the end of the Infinity Saga, they’re two of the only core Avengers left. When Earth’s Mightiest Heroes regroup in Avengers: Doomsday, New York’s friendly neighborhood webslinger could finally meet the God of Thunder. Until then, In the Heart of the Sea has plenty of Hemsworth/Holland action.
